A blood sugar level of 150 mg/dL is slightly above the normal fasting range for most adults. Here's what you should know:
- Normal fasting blood sugar is generally between 70 and 99 mg/dL.
- A level of 150 mg/dL, if measured after fasting (no food for at least 8 hours), is considered high and may indicate prediabetes or diabetes.
- If this reading was taken after eating (postprandial), it might be less concerning but still worth monitoring.
- It's important to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation, which may include repeat testing or additional tests like HbA1c.
Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels is crucial, especially at your age, to reduce the risk of complications. Lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management can help. Your doctor can guide you on the best steps forward based on your overall health.

I'm concerned about my TSH level, which is 18.24. Is this considered dangerous? What does it say about the state of my thyroid? I've already done tests like T3, T4, and checked for anti-thyroid antibodies. Could you give me some advice on how to manage or control this?
A TSH level of 18.24 suggests hypothyroidism, which means your thyroid is underactive and not producing enough hormones. It's good that you've undergone comprehensive tests, including T3, T4, and anti-thyroid antibodies, to assess the cause. Treatment typically involves thyroid hormone replacement therapy, and I recommend consulting your healthcare provider for a tailored treatment plan to bring your levels into balance.
